Needles. Pins and Fish Hooks.

According to the most recent estimate, the
present production of needles in Redditch,
England, is not less than $4,000, 900 per week,
and, as may be inferred from this enormous
aggregate, machinery has been brought to
bear upon the trade in a most extensive de-
gree, and with marked success. The point
ing of the needles, one of the most delicate of
all the operations, is now almost exclusively
done by machinery and so is the cutting,
Swimming, stamping, cycling, tempering,
counting, heading and failing, blueing, bur-
nishing, finishing, asserting and sticking.
New and improved machines for all these
processes have been successfully introduced
during the last twenty years or so, and, I'M
like the experience in other trades, the ma
chine work about needles is not only cheaper
but better.
The latest novelty, and one which is pro
HouuceS success, is the "grooving" machine
for making sewing machine needles, the old
stamping process being thereby superseded.
Work done by the growing" machine is
better and truer, beside being more econOm-
cal. The old process of ether gelding has
been almost entirely superseded by the newer
and improved method of electro gelding.
Redditch is becoming a rival of Birming-
ham in the manufacture of pins, the ordinary
common household pin being supplemented
by shawl and scarf pins, with glass and steel
heads. About two tons weight of pins of all
sorts are made at Redditch weekly. Accord
ing to the latest phase which ingenious enter
prise has taken in this trade, the production
ought to increase by "leaps and bounds" for
an attempt is being made to so reconstruct
the machines that they may produce two pins
at time instead of one. Redditch produces
every week an average of 2O,OOO,000 fish
hooks of all descriptions, from that required
by the angler of minnows in the streamlet to
that adapted for pike and salmon fishermen.
Machinery is very largely used in the manu-
facture of fish hooks, and, in connection with
the smaller class of sea hooks, electro timing
is being extensively adopted. Fishing rods,
floats and swives now constitute important
branches of Redditch industry, and con,
siderable trade Is growing up in the pro
duction of artificial flies, which are exclu-
sively hand made.-American Analyst.

their said marriage began a course of unkind,
harsh and tyrannical conduct toward her,
which continued constantly until she finally
separated from him on or about the said 9th

while plaintiff lived with defendant he was

last evening and donned them at their

able interest in this new organization. The
young men appeared to excellent advantage
in the uniforms, and by Colonel Sheehan,
Major Mckee, Lieutenant Flaherty, Cap

present with several civilian friends, were
warmly commended for their fine appear
